Designing a full body VR experience

Topic:
VR is only a visual experience. If we add tactile together with full body sensation, we can create impressive experiences of an entire new level. It becomes possible to make them even more enjoyable, even more thrilling. This talk will introduce techniques to design such an experience.

Secrets of Parthenon Renderer

Topic:
Parthenon Renderer, released first in 2002, is one of the earliest GPU renderers that achieved acceleration of photorealistic offline rendering using a GPU.
There are two key technical elements in Parthenon Renderer that enabled this early adoption of a GPU in photorealistic rendering:
the replacement of ray tracing over hemispheres by rasterization and distribution of various computation steps in photorealistic rendering to a CPU and a GPU. By revealing the internals of Parthenon Renderer,
I will show you some examples of engineering choices that make (or made) sense when developing a photorealistic renderer using a GPU.

TDF Lunch party (Food table)

TDF supporters

Let's make Tokyo Demo Fest the once in a year awesome demoparty. What's better to socialize than a meal and a drink? In 2016,
some visitors had this simple yet fabulous idea to put some food on a table with a sign "free for everyone, bring more food".
Soon enough, the real party was at the food table. Let's do this again this year!
